Personally I'm skeptical of all of these "diets". I'm from the old school. Eat right and excercise regularly. Eating right doesn't mean eliminating certain foods from your diet. It means eating a balanced diet from all 4 food groups. If we were meant to only eat Vegetables, we'd be Rabbit's. Sadly our society is becoming too dependant on quick fixes. To me that's what this is.

Yes. An obese friend of mine started this diet over one year ago. He's lost over 100 lbs since. He's pushing 50 years old, and how has more energy than at any time in his life since high school.

I've tried the diet myself (by which I mean I have started following some of its tenets) and lost 10 lbs within 2 months.

Someone said this sounds like a knock off of Atkins but that cannot be further from the truth.There are significant differences.

I think it is misleading to call Dr. Poon's diet plan a diet ... it is not really calorie restrictive. But if you follow it, your body simply will be content with appropriate portions and you will no longer feel an urge to overeat. Poon's diet is all about learning what different food types do to you body chemistry, acting on it by eating appropriately, and exercise.

Sorry for the late reply but I read some of the silly responses in this thread and felt someone should address them.
